Fil-Am director retells father’s story in a limited TV series

What makes this endeavor different from his previous directorial outings, such as in the feature film Blood on Canvas and short Emancipatus Emma, is that he will take on the challenge of telling the story of his father Tony Deleon Pizarro, based on the latter’s biographical novel, The Man Behind the Uniform. Its book reading will be held on Oct. 28 at the Pizarro Estate, Rancho Santa Fe, California.

An aspect of which is when Tony wanted to get the permission letter from his father, Bernardo, to enter the US Navy. The protagonist was a minor then. Back to Tony’s decision to find greener pastures, Mt. Samat will provide details about it, such as his experience of getting on the ship USNS Barrett, the feelings of anxiety and excitement about what the future had for him, kissing the ground upon reaching the Naval Air Station Treasure Island, and getting along with fellow American sailors.

With perseverance, Tony graduated from being a steward to a disbursing clerk and securing new US Naval officer positions like two-star master chief petty officer and chief warrant officer 4. Timeline-wise, the narrative encompasses the periods of 1941 until the end of World War II, 1961, the Vietnam War, and 1991.Battling a silent health crisis in the Philippines: How can we protect our children from dental cavities?LIST: Catch up with your best bud this month with these super buy 1 get 1 dealsAnne Curtis shared what is keeping her and her fellow “It’s Showtime” hosts busy while the noontime show...
